History:
The Model 43 grenade was introduced in 1943, based on the previous Model 24 but with improvements made to the safety and reliable operation of the weapon. The Stielhandgranate was the standard hand grenade of the German Army from the end of World War I until the end of World War II. The very distinctive appearance led to its being called a 'Kartoffelstampfer', "stick grenade", or a "potato masher" in British Army slang, and is today one of the most easily recognized infantry weapons of the 20th century.
